Blog Bash Day 12 with Cat Johnson + Giveaway

HOTTIE of the Month

I’ve included my personal vote for hottie of the month with my post today. Anyone who knows me knows I have a thing for cowboys—especially real ones—and this guy is the real deal. Jason Wayne Hunter, the hottie pictured, is a real live bull rider. In fact during the photo shoot when this candid shot was taken, he was dealing with a fractured back from a riding injury, but you’d never know it. That’s what a love about cowboys, besides the fact they’re hot and those boots and jeans are extremely flattering, you can’t keep a good cowboy down (so to speak *wink*).

Wednesday W’s?!?

Even though it’s officially Tuesday, I chose a Wednesday W. My “W” question is this…

Would you totally change your life for love?

I’m talking about major change, like perhaps a city girl moving to the country to live on a ranch for the love of a cowboy or maybe a woman giving up her rich lifestyle for the simple life with a man who makes just enough to get by. Can love conquer all?

Maybe I’m thinking about this topic because it’s kind of what my heroine in The EX-Files has to deal with. She’s an attorney and has always gravitated toward dating a certain type of man—professional, well to do, powerful—then she finds herself not only irresistibly attracted physically to a much younger bartender, but she’s also finding she can’t stop thinking about him even when she’s on dates with other men. But it’s a little disconcerting that he’s the exact opposite of everything she always thought she wanted in a life partner.

Here’s the blurb…

THE EX-FILES

by Cat Johnson

Who needs a husband? Definitely not high-power attorney Jane Dolan. At least that’s what she tells herself right up until her thirtieth birthday, then she’s not so sure. When a co-worker shares the theory that everyone in the world has already met their soul mate by the age of thirty but most have passed them by, Jane decides to be proactive, go back and find him.

As Plane Jane—what an ex once called her—makes her way through her little black book and the men from her past searching for the Mr. Right who got away, there’s another man who makes his way into her little black panties. She can’t deny he feels oh so right. Gorgeous and much too young, Damian drips sexuality. He’s the exactly opposite of everything Jane is.

Her post-date sexual encounters with the tempting bartender are totally inappropriate and, Jane finds, completely irresistible. But her soul mate is waiting and there are still more men from her past to re-date—or are there?

FAVORITE RECIPE

Since the book takes place in a bar, where the hero mixes up chocolate martinis that one character describes as an “orgasm in a glass”, I’m going to give you my favorite recipe for the Chocolate Martini, as the Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA (where they know chocolate) serves it with the glass rimmed in chocolate syrup and cocoa powder, and with a Hershey kiss in the bottom.

CHOCOLATE MARTINI

~2 parts vodka

~1 part vanilla vodka

~1 part dark cream de cocao

Shake with ice then strain into a martini glass

OMG Cat was so cute as AAD!
